The Mozilla "bouncing scrollbars" feature creates an insolvable problem in some
existing e-commerce site designs.
The problem cannot be worked around because of the combination of 2 "features":
1) the width of a page cannot be calculated by any means
(even the browser does not know it until the page is fully loaded)
2) FRAME: "scrolling = yes not implemented: forced scrollbars don't show up"
The "bouncing scrollbars" breaks frames designs that are as basic as having 2
rows with proportionally aligned content.
Proportional alignment is a necessity wherever a window is resizable or the
screen size is not fixed, both of which are fundamental boundary conditions on
the web.
As commercial e-commerce site providers, we are extremely disappointed that some
misguided Mozilla designers are prepared to break compatibility with all other
browsers in the market (Priority 3, Target Milestone Future).
We are also disappointed that such a basic arithmetic failure can get beyond the
design stage.
We recognise and appreciate the efforts of the Mozilla team in the area of DOM
and CSS standards compliance.
However, for us, these CSS and DOM related improvements are
completely overshadowed by more basic issues such as this.

This needs to be reassigned, I bet (unless evaughan has a fix already, or is
about to hack one up), and pulled into 0.9.8 or 0.9.9. Based on mail from
bht@actrix.gen.nz, I'm nominating for mozilla1.0, and cc'ing jst and jkeiser in
the hopes that they can help.

Setting scrolling=no on a frame with javascript
(getElementById('frameID').scrolling='no') doesn't work either. It behaves
as scrolling=auto, but it does have the value of 'no'
(alert(getElementById('frameID').scrolling))!

click Boomplantactie (first picture) and see a window popping up which is too
small (though I specified the image height + 90 px), in Internet Explorer it's
displayed correctly. I tried adding scrollbars by putting scrollbars=yes but it
doesn't seem to work either...

This bug is blocking proper functioning of the following site:
http://nhgz.com/html/?page=dates.php
Forcing the scrollbars to be shown is necessary to centering the frame properly
on all links throughout the site.
I am reporting it on the behalf of the owner of the site (whom I have talked to).
Like Comment #9, this too seems like such a basic feature that I believe it's
priority should be moved up.
P.S. We've passed mozilla1.0 already, correct?
